Kiriko is now live in Overwatch 2’s Competitive mode

Overwatch 2’s latest hero Kiriko is finally available in Competitive after a two-week introductory period.

Starting today, players who have unlocked Kiriko will be able to use her to rank up in Competitive in either support role queue or open queue. While Kiriko has been available in Unranked and Arcade since Overwatch 2 launched on Oct. 4, she was previously locked in Competitive. The two-week probation period allowed players to get used to her and try out her abilities before she became available in the more intense world of ranked. Kiriko joins Mercy, Lucio, Brigitte, and the other existing supports, giving support-minded players eight different heroes to choose from while ranking up.
